The Stadthalle was completed in 1955 according to plans by architects Wilhelm and Dirk Denninger. It has two large halls, conference rooms and a restaurant. The SPD's Godesberg Program was adopted here in 1959.

Although idyllically nestled in the Bad Godesberg Stadtpark, the Stadthalle has excellent transport connections.

Bad Godesberg's town hall consists of an ensemble of six neoclassical-style houses, which were built under Elector Max Franz in 1792 and 1793 as lodging houses for bathers. After years of use as a hotel and bathing establishment, the administration moved into the buildings after Bad Godesberg became a town in 1935. Bad Godesberg was incorporated into Bonn in 1969 and has formed one of the city's four districts ever since.

The extensive city park was begun in 1890/91 by the Cologne master gardener Kowaleck and expanded again and again over several decades. The park is kept in the style of an English landscape garden and planted with valuable, partly exotic trees, some of which have developed into real giants.

The Little Theater on the edge of the park was built in 1919 and initially served as the official residence of the mayor. Since 1970, the neat villa has been the venue for a small private theater with seating for 161 spectators.

In 1962, the Kurfürstenquelle spring was drilled in the city park, with water coming from a depth of 200 meters. The healing water is still occasionally served in the spa pavilion.

The building was erected between 1790 and 1792 at the behest of Archbishop and Elector Max Franz in the elegant neoclassical style. It served as a society house for courtly bathers, where weekly balls and games of chance were held. The young Ludwig van Beethoven is said to have played music here in the presence of Joseph Haydn.

From 1856 to 1920, the Redoute was the private villa of the von Wendelstadt family and then became municipal property.

The building became famous as a venue for national and international receptions of the German government. The Haus an der Redoute is located directly next to the Redoute. It was once the electoral chamber theater and is now used as an exhibition venue and administrative building. The "Redüttchen" - the small Redoute - served as a gardener's cottage for the adjoining park; today it is a restaurant.

The park, laid out in the English style, stretches uphill across the grounds behind the Redoute.

If you follow Redoutenweg to Elisabethstraße, you will come to a staircase on the left that leads to Redoutenpark. The climb is worthwhile because of the beautiful view of the park and Redoute.

Continue along Brunnenallee to the Draitschbrunnen fountain (about 250 meters away). It was opened as early as 1790 by Elector Max Franz. In today's drinking pavilion, built in 1977, you can fill your own containers with the healing water from the Draitsch and Kurfürsten springs for a nominal fee. The water from the Kurfürstenquelle is pumped directly to the pavilion via a pipeline from the spa gardens. Both healing waters have a beneficial effect on stomach, gall bladder and liver disorders and can help with stress-related complaints.

The way back to the city center is via Brunnenallee. Via Theaterplatz with the Schauspielhaus (which was the first new theater built in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1952) you reach Koblenzer Straße. As part of the redevelopment of the old town, modern residential and office buildings have been erected in the center since 1972, including the City-Terrassen at the foot of Godesburg Castle. However, attentive walkers can still discover some well-preserved Wilhelminian-style facades in Bad Godesberg's city center.

Aennchen Schumacher was born in 1860 in what was then Godesberg and took over her father's inn when she was just 18 years old, giving it the name "Zur Lindenwirtin" in 1891. She was known as a cheerful Rhenish lady and a great lover of music and was adored and appreciated by her guests. In the period before and after the turn of the 20th century, Bonn students enjoyed stopping off at the inn.

The restaurant of the "Lindenwirtin Aennchen" became famous beyond the borders of Bad Godesberg, not least because of the drinking song "Keinen Tropfen im Becher mehr".

Aennchen Schumacher became an honorary citizen of Godesberg in 1925 and died in 1935.

The next stop on the way to the castle is St. Michael's Chapel. It originally stood on the site where the keep of Godesburg Castle now stands. When construction of the castle began, it had to make way. The chapel, named after the archangel Michael, was rebuilt in its current location as the castle chapel.

Like the castle, it was destroyed during the Truchsess War. The chapel was rebuilt between 1697 and 1699 under Elector Joseph Clemens, to whom it also owes its remarkable Baroque interior. The small extension on the side served as a hermitage for monks until 1800, but today it is once again inhabited by a hermitess.
